TranslatePress ensures 100% translation coverage for a multilingual site by employing a unique approach that sets it apart from other translation plugins. Here's how it achieves comprehensive translation:
1. Visual Interface and Front-end Translation: TranslatePress allows users to translate their website directly from the front-end using a simple, point-and-click interface. This means that users can see live previews of their translations as they make them, ensuring that every element on the page is translated accurately[1][2].
2. Detection of Translatable Content: Unlike other plugins like WPML and Polylang, which rely on content stored in the site's database, TranslatePress detects translatable content by analyzing the rendered HTML on the site. This approach enables it to translate content from any source, including themes, plugins, and custom code, without needing special compatibility plugins[3].
3. Comprehensive Translation Support: TranslatePress supports the translation of all types of content, including:
- WordPress Content: Posts, pages, custom post types.
- Themes and Plugins: TranslatePress works seamlessly with most WordPress themes and plugins, including page builders like Elementor and Divi, form plugins, and WooCommerce[9].
- Shortcodes and Forms: It can translate output from shortcodes and forms without requiring additional compatibility plugins[2][3].
- SEO Metadata: With the premium SEO Pack addon, TranslatePress allows users to translate SEO metadata, ensuring that multilingual sites are optimized for search engines in multiple languages[8].
4. Automatic and Manual Translation Options: Users can choose between manual translation for precise control and automatic translation using services like Google Translate or DeepL. This flexibility allows for both speed and accuracy, depending on the user's needs[3][8].
5. Partial Translation Support: For situations where not all content needs to be translated, TranslatePress allows users to exclude specific posts, pages, or products from translation. This feature is particularly useful for sites that only require partial multilingual support[4].
Overall, TranslatePress's combination of a user-friendly interface, comprehensive detection of translatable content, and support for various translation methods ensures that no part of a website is left untranslated, providing a seamless experience for multilingual audiences.
